The City of Santa Ana is so broke that they are trying to come up with schemes to raise money. Their latest idea is to offer notary public services via the Santa Ana City Clerk. Here are the details:
The Santa Ana City Clerk’s Office will provide notary services from Monday through Thursday between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. by appointment. Each signature costs $15, and a valid form of identification is necessary. (That is a good deal as this service can usually cost up to $30).
Accepted payment methods include credit card, personal check, cashier’s check, or money order.
To schedule your appointment, please email CityClerk@santa-ana.org or call (714) 647-6520. The City Clerk’s Office is located at Santa Ana City Hall, 20 Civic Center Plaza. (Be sure to ask them to comp your parking fee!)
We have to wonder what else the City of Santa Ana could do to raise money? Perhaps a Christmas Tamale sale?
Taking money from hard working businesses. Santa Ana so desperate. What’s with the mayor? Santa Ana is going broke under this Mayor. Why didn’t this come out before the election? How much are the city employees getting paid to do this? Are City employees who are doing this getting paid to steal money from honest citizen’s businesses trying to make a living? Does the City Clerk not have enough to do with regular duties?. Will that affect their regular city work for the residents of Santa Ana who pay taxes including extra higher sales taxes for city services?
Not affordable, as the max a notary in the state of California can charge is $15 per signature. You will be heavily fined if you charge anything more
